From mid April to July 2007, the Spanish city of Valencia will host the 32nd display of the America's Cup. This sailing event, which history is considered to be the oldest in sports, goes back to 1851 when it first happened in England. It is 45 years older than the Olympic Games!

This regatta is not only the oldest sport competition of the world, but it is aslo the most difficult one. The interest of the event for an outsider resides in the unique opportunity to witness a prestigious and elegant gathering, which enables spectators to discover the latest architectural innovations in sailing, as well as an outstanding sportive performance...
